Hi all,

I just wanted to post a quick message to introduce myself to the group. My name is Jeff Geisinger, and I'm an architect with Utile in Boston. We're a 50-ish person firm with a pretty broad project base, including affordable multifamily housing, institutional buildings, commercial interiors, and urban planning/public realm work. I'm really excited to be a part of this online community, especially as my role in the firm is evolving towards more of a specialized role in building performance analysis and sustainable design. One of my goals this year is to define performance targets on many of our new projects. I also hope to begin integrating sustainable design concepts at every phase of a project, with an emphasis on energy modeling and other types of environmental analysis in the early stages of design.

I look forward to learning from all of you on this site or in person. Hopefully we'll get to meet one day at an upcoming summit!

-Jeff

Welcome Jeff!! For those who don’t know him, Jeff is fantastic at designing with sustainability in mind (and has generated some of the most compelling simulation output graphics that I’ve seen). Utile is lucky to have you leading their efforts! Ale.
